"snoooooooooooooooooooooooow!" finn was so happy.  what a perfect start.  jon and i had sneaky plans for the boys that day.  we handed them a box, and they all ripped into it.  we got them a new set of jams and told them that it was "pajama day" (wahooooooo!) so they quickly switched into cowboy jammies for the day.  now lets all eat breakfast out shall we.  hop in the car boys.  we're having dooooooonnnnuuuuuuuttttsss!!!!

lamar's.  the donut shop in town.  as in the only donut shop in town.  once again, we're not in texas anymore where there's a donut shop on every corner.  at least they're really good and have seasonally appropriate sprinkles.

we made quite a statement entering the shop, as we usually do, but it quickly subsided with donuts and a view of a bobcat clearing snow.

back to the car fellas.

we've gotta go "test drive" some cars at the toy store.  party.

we headed back home to make the long awaited ginger bread house.  finn was dyyyyiiing to make it.  i have the sneaking suspicion it had to do with the candy.

not everything is picture perfect.  we had a roofing incident possibly do to weight issues.

jon and i really needed to run some errands, but that's no fun on "pajama day" so we hooked the boys up with kettle corn and the polar express on the laptop.

now, what should you have for dinner on "first day of winter break/pajama day"?  why breakfast of course!

not a bad end to a really fun day.

This is so cute!!! I only have one boy, but man would he like to do all that in cowboy pjs. I doubt there'll be snow in South Florida, but any day will do. Merry Christmas!
